• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Startling Admission From a G.O.P. Senator [Lisa Murkowski] ‘We Are All Afraid’⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve always liked Murkowski (and Collins and McCain).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft open sourced Chroma, their colourblind simulation tool⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Any word on when they plan to cancel access since no one owns anything except Ubisoft?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft argues players don't own their games in wake of The Crew lawsuit⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the problem with rented software. The obvious solution is to support indie developers and retailers like GOG.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BDS calls for boycott of Microsoft and Xbox gaming products over alleged Israeli military connections⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, it was always GOG anyway. This just shows that it’s the right decision.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft launches new subsidiary for Assassin’s Creed and other big games with funding from Tencent⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So the founders figured out how to sell the company AND keep control of it. Neat!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Echoing Abyss⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe the AI was trained on a Pornhub-heavy dataset?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Make your complaints heard about bad games, says Dragon Age veteran Mark Darrah, but "your $70 doesn't buy you cruelty"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Do players celebrate layoffs? Or do they just enjoy the schadenfreude when karma bites executives and managers who disrespect their customers?

  Either way, yeah $70 for a game, especially for a bad one, buys me the right to complain.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A daunting realization⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Oof! Cool perspective

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Square Enix Has Set Up A New Policy To Go After Harassers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So people will either simply stop talking about Square Enix at all or make sure they use a VPN/Tor and burner email to do it. SE do know who their customers are, no?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds creator wants to build a "metaverse" but says it might take 15 years and can't explain what it will look like yet⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  At this point, he’d be better advised to spin up an OpenSimulator instance, hire Firestorm to build a custom viewer, and focus on building his world. Reinventing the wheel — again — is pointless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo is targeting members of a popular Switch piracy subreddit | VGC⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nintendo’s own-goals are getting embarrassing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk says too many game studios are owned by giant corporations so his giant corporation is going to start a studio to 'make games great again'⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, but he’ll gaslight the rest of us into calling it “bee-GOH” Games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Engineers Discover a 132-Year-Old Message in a Bottle in a Scottish Lighthouse⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I realize that they’re trying to appease a terrorist “activist investor,” but the Times is rapidly tanking their credibility with readers

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'It even breaks my heart a bit': Denuvo pushes back on its haters, says Steam forums are a 'very toxic, very hostile environment'⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The upcoming Dragon Age: The Veilguard will somewhat surprisingly not use Denuvo at all

  There’s the tell. Publishers might start listening to their customers, who generate income, rather than their vendors’ sales personnel, who create expenses. He’s panicked over a potential existential crisis.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'It even breaks my heart a bit': Denuvo pushes back on its haters, says Steam forums are a 'very toxic, very hostile environment'⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If I read a forum where people are known to object to what I do, there’s a fair chance I’ll get my feelings hurt. That’s on me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨700 Ubisoft Workers Strike In France, Across Their Different Locations⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ubisoft has problems. Ghoulish activist investor looking to destroy the company for a quick buck is not helping.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like Spaz is about to have another Numbnuts Moment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨THE DEMONS⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  All I see is a flame-type Pokémon. Kinda cute, really

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Academic writing⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  One of my favorite Calvin & Hobbs. :D

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Square!⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  IDIC!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨God of War Ragnarok PC port suffers review bombing on Steam due to PlayStation Network account requirement⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  God of War Ragnarok PC port suffers earns review bombing on Steam due to PlayStation Network account requirement

  Fixed it for them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Saber won't say whether their CEO wrote this highly baity comment about games "imposing morals on gamers"⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Whether he said it or not, social engineering is perhaps as inappropriate in games as in schools. I agree with the sentiment that I play games to get away from reality, not to get slapped with extra-strength RL issues.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hasbro CEO Says AI Will Become Core Part of Dungeons & Dragons⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’ll definitely lead to a few never-imagined-by-humans campaigns.

  Now I want to plug in the rules to ChatGPT and let it run a session, just for fun.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wine team now hosting Mono, looking to adopt the Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Someone wants to remind them that Ehmke lost. There’s such a backlash against her brand of approved discrimination that DEI is being dismantled, made illegal, and generally thrown in the dustbin. She’s probably not the best person to advise on equality issues.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unity is ditching their much-hated runtime fees effective immediately, a year after they infuriated basically every game developer⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I genuinely hope this is too little too late.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Steam Families logo is clearly a Rorschach test, so what do you see?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A dog

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An Ubisoft investor wants to dethrone Ubisoft's founders so Ubisoft can lay more developers off⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Dude, it happens to all of us. :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An Ubisoft investor wants to dethrone Ubisoft's founders so Ubisoft can lay more developers off⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty sure that French would pronounce it /u/ not /ju/.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An Ubisoft investor wants to dethrone Ubisoft's founders so Ubisoft can lay more developers off⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Activist investors should be sidelined by any means necessary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Texas Sues for Access to Records of Women Seeking Out-of-State Abortions⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve said before, and I’ll say again: The next time they try to secede, LET THEM GO!
